    Went down hill by Jerry

    The app used to work for me real well on my Windows 10 phone, and previous Windows version phones. Today I wanted to use the app and it presented the registration page like I was a new user. I entered my email address and password for Amazon that it requests. And it says that one of them is wrong. I went to Amazon and verified that they worked fine going directly to Amazon. I went back to the Kindle Reader app and it's still telling me that it doesn't recognize one or the other so I'm deleting it.

    Shame by Valentin

    This app hasn't been updated in years, falls far behind Kindle apps on other devices, even behind the Windows desktop version. Amazon, please make a universal app for Windows 10. It will work on everything: desktops, tablets and phones. Kindle devices are great, but windows devices are what people use every day, with variety of screen sizes, pen support for annotations, etc. Please, bring the fully functional reading app to where the hardware is great and diverse, thank you.

    Amazon hates Windows by Gregory

    It's been obvious ever since the Kindle Fire came out that Amazon favors other platforms over Windows. This app is evidence in that regard - it is barely functional enough to be called a reading app. I have all but stopped using Amazon since they refuse to offer comparable experience to iOS and Android on the Windows platform. No audio features like on iOS, many other settings missing. On another note, Amazon also does not offer an Instant Video app like on other platforms, with ability to download and view videos later. Amazon was cool a few years ago, but has SERIOUSLY gone downhill in the last three years. Please Amazon, if you read these reviews, just port your iOS or Windows Desktop app to a Universal Windows App (UWP). It would make everything easier and a whole lot of people happier!

    It was working great for me! I was getting books on my phone from my kindle, all was good. Then one day, after a year or so of use, it signed me out, said I needed to register my kindle and wouldn't sign me back in. loved it while it lasted.
